2 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, JULY 28 {AYWOOD GRATIFIED, MOHAILANI VERY S@AD HONOLULU, July 20.—“I am naturally gratified that annexation has at last been accomplished,” sald Consul General Haywood when the news of annexation reached him. “It is what I came to these islands to see done, and I am glad I have not had to go home disappointed. The United States has given to the people of these islands what I consider to he the greatest gift they could recelve—American citizen- ship—which carries with it stable gov- ernment and protection from the na- tions of the world. It only remains with the people here to make the most of the gift. This can only be done by forgetting past animosities and work- ing harmoniously for the public good. Americans will then make of these beautiful islands not merely the Para- dise of the Pacific, but the Paradise of the world.” HONOLULU, July 20.—To the Editor of The San Francisco Call: You ask me how we Hawalians have received the news which has deprived us of our country and our nationality. I can only say that my countrymen are yet unable to realize the fact that the great republic which boasts of its democratic and republican principles has committed the unholy act which in history will be known as the “Rape of Hawaii.” We had hoped that the joint resolu- CONSUL GENERAL HAYWOOD. tions would be defeated in the Senate, and we were stunned when we learned of the vote, which results in the annihilation of our beloved country and in the driving to the wall of all Haw I can ure you that there is not one Hawaiian who in his hea favors annexation.

I can tell you, and few men have the opportunity of knowing the Hawaliia s I do, that many tears were shed when the news by the Coptic reached the homes of those who know no other country than these islands, which once were justly called the Paradise of the Pacific.

Senator Morgan of Alabama told a large assembly of Hawalians, when he ted he that he could promise them equal political rights with any American in any Syate of America. He told us that eagh of us would have as good a chance to become President of the United States as has Grover Cleveland. (I believe him in that.) He said that Hawail would be a State, and that by the power of our majority we would control the affairs of Hawaii and enjoy true self-government. He paid a glowing tribute to our intelligence and excellent qualities, and told us how he loved “colored” people. We didn’t belleve a word of what that ex-slave driver from Alabama said, and there is no man more despised and loathed among the Hawaiians than Senator Morgan, who now is to frame a government for Hawali. The Hawaiians h at present no intention of taking any active inter- est in the government of their country. They feel like the children cf Israel did when t sat down in exile and bemoaned their fate.

MOHAILANI. ‘NATURAL GROWTH,” SAYS PRESIDENT DOLE HONOLULU, July 20.—“The political progress of the Hawalian Islands ad their annexation to the United States has been along the line of natural growth,” sald Sanford B. Dole, the President of the Hawalian Republic, when the news of annexation was brought to him by the Coptic. “That progress has been greatly stimulated through the influence of the foreign residents, of whom the great majority are Americans. The first or- ganization of government by King Kamehameha III in 1840 was a crude affair, but it was the first step in the sequence of events that led up to the present transfer of the Government of the islands to Washington. Then came the constitutions of 1853, 1864 and 1887, making each time a decided develop- ment of representative principles of government and a decadence of royal authority. “The provisional Government admin- istered affairs under the constitution of 1887, except as the same was modi- fled by the abrogation of the mon- archy. The constitution of the Repub- lic of Hawall proclaimed in 1894 con- tained great innovations upon previous constitutional provisions, and greatly contributed to the improvement of the public administration according to the conditions of the Hawalfan community. “The present status of our civil institutions is the result of steady rowth and development covering a period of about two generations that wade rapid progress in the acts that characterize the progress of the world. he evolution of Hawaiian institutions has been politically and commercialls; rogressive, and it will be to the best interests of Hawali if, under the new onditions and under the new flag, it may be permitted to continue its po- tical and commercial growth according to its own requirements and cir- SANFORD B. DOLE. MINISTER SEWALL’S IDEAS ON ANNEXATION HONOLULU, July 20.—“The annexation of Hawail,” sald American Min- ister Sewall in discussing the actioa of the Senate in adopting the Newlands resolution, “is, in the words of Presi- k dent McKinley, ‘a consummation and not a change.” The whole policy of the United States toward . these islands pointed plainly to the time when what has been called the mere suzerainty of the United States over Hawali should assume the shape of actual and per- manent sovereignty and the incorpora- tion of the islands as a part of the na- tional territory. There has been a growing feeling in the United States that the benefits given Hawall under the reciprocity treaty were not com- pensated for by any return the islands could make short of the cession of the territory itself. “Like all true unions, the union of Hawali with the United States is of reciprocal benefit, and I do not think it possible for any man to state on which side there will be the greater benefit. What the acquisition of the sovereignty of these islands itself, the right to wuse the ter- ritory and the harbors for naval and military operations, means to the United States, the future will demon- strate, and it may be believed that that demonstration will accord with the opinion of every authority on naval MINISTER H. M. SEWALL. and military matters who has studied the question and who has not hesitated to state positively that it is an advantage absolutely necessary for the protection of our coast should ® we seek that maritime supremacy in the northern waters of this ocean which now seems assured. “We are having almost weekly here the demonstration of the advan- tage of the facilities offered by these islands, not only for coaling our ships, but for resting our men and recuperating the sick on their way to Manila. We shall have here, taking the commercial view, an American trade to which no limits can be set. Many articles of merchandise im- ported in great quantities here were not provided for under the reciproc- ity treaty, and in these foreign countries have had an advantage which they will relinquish with regret. The British and German merchants here who have been engaged in this importation will realize this. With the increased market for our goods there comes also an increased demand for American ships for use in the trade to the west coast and around the Horn, and trade also that has not been confined to them. Lands will be opened up for settlement and cultivation by our people, and this has been one of the most cherished hopes of the present Government. American cap- ital, always preferring investment in American territory, will now find abundant field here in the development of these undeveloped groups of is- lands where profits in every line of trade and business have been very great, justified by those who have made them by the contention that these profits have only been commensurate with risks that have been taken in investing money under the uncertain political conditions that have here- tofore prevailed here. “Many merchants and traders here have shown a high degree of pa- triotism in welcoming a change which invites increased competition, and with that competition inevitably diminished profits. This competition is in- vited in every field of trade and merchant enterprise in the islands and will be of undoubted benefit to the great masses of the population for the expenses of living and of transportation have been notoriously high. In this diminution of profits of the merchant, and especially of the retailer, will be found one of the great benefits that Hawali itself will receive, when the greatest good of the greatest number is considered. What Hawaii will re- ceive in the way of security from threats and interference from other na- tions, as well as from disturbance of its interior peace, is apparent, and constituted one of the chief reasons for the efforts to secure annexation here. More directly, and to the advantage both of Hawali and the United States, it must not be overlooked that the annexation of Hawali has forced the early completion of the canal at Nicaragua, and the construction of this canal will be of mutual and inestimable benefit. “The commission to frame the laws for Hawali, to be appointed by the President, will have a most important duty and will be given, I judge, dis- cretion and latitude commensurate with the importance of its duty, especial- ly as Congress will pass upon this work.. It will have to cover the entire fleld of the needs of these islands, the industrial and political conditions of which find no par#lel in any territory which has been annexed to the United States since ‘the original unfon. It will be the wikh of all people Interested in these islands to have their views represented before the com- mission, and it will be a .privilege that I should think wiil be properly granted. President Dole, who has devoted much time to the study of the land tenures here, would place, I think, the land laws at the very front of the matters to be considered by the commission, “As to the form of local government, I do not believe anybody here has a definite opinion or preference as yet. It has been announced by different members of the Government that the present Government will probably be continued without much change upon the conclusion of the commission’s report, and this seems probable, of course assuming that it be under the directlon of the President of the United States, as is pro- vided in the resolutions themselves. As to the contract labor question, there {s some anxiety I understand among the planters lest the attention the commission may give to this question may result in a diminished supply of labor. Chinese, of course, will not be admitted, and it will be a serious question as to what laws and regulations wiil have to be framed regarding the Japanese. But I am happy to say that the planters, as a whole, are confident that there will be no insurmountable difficulty -in securing sufficient labor, though it is recognized that the cost of labor will be in- creased, and it is cheerfully acknowledged that this cost can be fairly borne by the plantations. “With all the changes that will come I belleve the future of the.native Hawaiian is assured. The continued invasion of Asiatics here cannot be for their benefit. They have displaced the Hawailan not only from his lands, but very largely from the few fields of enterprise in which the Ha- waiian could and wowd engage; while the Hawalians, much more than we have found our people in cities where Chinese have congregated, are susceptible to the influences of close association and the vices which come in its train. “Whether under our constitution it will be possible to safegard the Ha- walian in any way against the ills which intercourse with the outside world has brought upon him, or not, I do not know. He deserves peculiar and warm consideration. I have known the Polynesion race since 1887, when I first went to Samoa, and as all people who know them, I cherish a warm regard for them and believe that our race may well emulate many of their hospitable virtues. It has been this very hospitality and prodi- gality with which they welcome the stranger to their land that has brought upon them most of the ills from which they suffer; and if aught can be done to relieve any of them who are in misfortune, or to give them political privileges which they can use consistently with the general wel- fare this should be done. “I have no fear that the social condition of the Hawailan will suffer detriment. His position is too well established traditionally and actually to fear this, and I think there is a general feeling of high regard and sym- pathy felt for the Hawalian, not the least in the Government which sup- plants the monarchy, and among its supporters. “In the light of history the Hawalians realize that they have lost no native government, for no native government in the true sense of the word has ever existed here; and it is impossible to believe that such a government as commends itself to the President and Congress of the United States will not deal as justly and fairly with them as the different monarchs under whom they have lived, directed as they have always been by white advisers. “I have not had an opportunity to learn just how the Hawailans have received the news. They have made no demonstration in any part of the group that I can learn, either of approval or disapproval. I belleve that those who have been opposed to annexation will very shortly become re- conciled. I think that such a feeling on their part has increased with each expedition that has passed through here to the Philippines, as they have been brought into actual contact with representative American citi- zens. They surely have had long notice of the impending change, and all of the intelligent ones have long since recognized it as Inevitable. “I recall now with peculiar force that Liliuokalani sald to me shortly after the revolution which deprived her of her throne, that they had so recognized this change as inevitable, but had hoped that it would not come in her time or in the time of her niece, Kalulani. “But events have moved faster than we could anticipate then, and with a feeling of the utmost friendliness toward the Hawaiians the change {s al- ready here, and I feel confident they will be made to understand by actual realization of the benefits offered that it is for their lasting advantage. ican national airs.

TESTA HONOLULU, July 20.—To the Editor of The San Francisco Call: Annex- ation, for which the people of Ha‘yail have so earnestly worked, will not in every respect meet the expectations of its most earnest advocates, nor will it, on the other hand, bring the dire misfortunes predicted by its oppo- nents. It will, in the fi place, pre- vent the swamping of the country by Asiatic labor, thereby preserving the land to its own people and to those that come after them. There is room here for a large population. The re- sources of the Islands are by no means all developed. While the -cultivation of sugar can only be su fully con- ducted by the aggregation of capital, there is a fine opportunity for the American or European farmer of small means.

To the United States we can say that the step taken will not be one for regret. A people more truly loyal to the American flag do not, cannot exist. GEORGE W. SMITH. HONOLULU, July 20.—To the Editor of The San Francisco Call: For over five years the Hawalian people placed, through their Queen, the most implicit faith in the honesty and integrity of the American people to restore to them what had been ruthlessly taken away from them, which President Cleveland sought to do, but was frustrated. During this time they have come to learn that what the Psalmist said—“Put not your trust in princes’—was true. The Hawaliians, as a nation, have always looked upon the United States as a friend. Its citizens visiting these shores have always been unstintedly and most lavishly and hospitably entertained. Now that the United States has finally taken the coun over, it only awaits the consummation of the act to complete the theft perpetrated on a confiding, weak and helpless people. Since the cry of “Annexation to the TUnited States was inaugurated by those who overthrew the monarchy, the Hawaiian people nearly as a whole have stood on the side of opposition to it, for those who raised the hue and cry were mostly aliens intermingled with the descendants of the American gnissionaries, who in reality were the main movers in the scheme, for the Hawaiians felt that under annexation they would not re- ceive the same treatment they had been accustomed to. It is admit- ted that the Hawalilans first received the privilege or the right of franchi from the foreigners, and after enjoying it for a period of fifty years are finally shorn of such a privilege by an objectionable and perfidious oath, every feature of which was to burden them with the idea of infidelity and of perjury. The reason of this is very plain, for the Hawaiians, from time immemorial, have been taught to revere and hold an oath as being sacred, which the foreigners have finally seen fit to disregard and to treat it lightly. With the advent of the consummation of annexation the lot of the Ha- wailan will be “a hard one to hoe.” It will benefit the boomers materially, but not the aborigines of the country. Time only can substantiate this as- sertion. Sorrow was plainly depicted on the face of nearly every Hawalian pres- ent on the Pacific Mail docks the day the news arrived, and that night it was felt in nearly every Hawaiian home of those who earnestly loved their coun- try, for it was “an abomination unto the Lord,” and at the same time very contemptible and despicable. The enthusiasm of those to whom the news was most welcome was a mock enthusiasm. It was nothing compared to the real sorrow among the Hawaiians, for they gained nothing, but lost all; that is, their individuality and their nationality, which is more than one can bear. If the United States will be magnanimous with them and give them the right of self-government, which they have always enjoyed since the coming of the foreigner, then the lot of the native will be as of yore, but with the loss of their individuality. As the United States has gone to war with Spain to give a lot of Cuban negroes independence and self-govern- ment, why not do the same to the Hawaiians . instead of annexing them against their wish? They have always been a free and Independent people and amenable to their chiefs and the laws placed over them, and now to be placed in subjec- tion without just cause except avarice and greed of territory is a matter hard to comprehend. They (the Hawaiians) have striven to oppose annexa- tion and are very much in evidence and on record as opposing the nefarious plans of certain unprincipled schemers to subjugate them. As regards thejr future, none can at this time foretell what is to be their lot. The Hawailan people. nearly as a unit, feel that with annexation they will be worse off and be downtrodden as are the Irish people. In- consistency is now a new jewel to the American people, and the consumma- tion of annexation is the worst blot of dishonor on the American es- cutcheon, after they themselves had rebelled against constituted authority for freedom and are now waging war for freedom as against “taxation with- out representation.”” Freedom hereafter will be a misnomer and will be mis- applied as far as the Hawalians are concerned in connection with American action and treatment. F. J. TESTA. egraphic communication with the American coast within a few months, While the American Senate was dis- cussing the Newlands resolution Pres- ident Dole and his Cabinet were affix- ing their signature to an agreement with the Pacific Cable Company, ot which J. Pierpont Morgan is at the head, providing for the construction ot a cable that would bring the little is- lands far out in the Pacific close to the American capital. It was stipulated in that agreement that the cable should be constructed and in operation between Hawali and | the American coast within two years and a year later the cable must be ex- | tended and in operation to the coast of Japan. The island of Oahu, on which Honolulu is situated, was designated as the main landing place of the cable. The Hawaiian Government agreed, | in consideration of the Pacific Cable Company constructing and operating the cable, to grant the cable company | the exclusive right and privilege ot landing and operating cables in the | Hawaiian Islands for the period of | twenty years. The Government re- serves the right to take possession of | the cable lines in case of war, rebellion or any other such emergency and at such times to exXercise supervision over all matter transmitted over the wires. It is agreed that the rate for trans- mitting messages between the Hawali- an Islands and the Pacific Coast shall | not exceed thirty-five cents a word and for official dispatches and press matter | the rate shall not exceed one-fourth | the amount charged for ordinary pri- | vate messages. The rate between Ha- | waif and Japan shall not exceed ninety | cents a word and all official messages between Hawaii and Japan shall be transmitted free during the time the cable company shall have the exclu- sive right to maintain its lines in the islands. The agreement is signed by Attor- ney Alfred S. Hartwell, who represents cable company, and he says it is ire of his company to complete the cable as quickly as possible. A heavy bond is to be given to guarantee the faithful performance of the con- tract, and the work of construction will commence as soon as the officers of the company in New York receive the copy of the agreement that has been made with the Hawalian Gov- ernment. The cable will be laid on the route of the survey recently made by the Amer- ican Government and that will bring the landing place of the wires at some point in Monterey Bay. Elaborate preparations are being made for the formal hoisting of the American flag over the executive build- ing of the Hawalian Republic, and the transfer of the islands to the Govern- ment of the United States. The An- nexation Club has taken the initiative and a committee from it has had sev- eral conferences with President Dole and his Cabinet. The programme as it is now arranged will be subject to change according to the ideas of Ad- miral Miller, who will represent the American Government and take for- mal possession of the islands. The pomp and ceremony as arranged will make a magnificent spectacle. There will be a parade of Hawaiian civil and militia bodies and American sailors and marines, as well as troops, should there be any transports in the harbor. The procession will reach the executive | building at noon and then the formal transfer will be made. The Hawallan flag will be saluted by twenty-one guns. Then it will be hauled down to the air of the Hawaiian national an- them. The American flag will be then run up to the air of the American na- tional anthem and it will also receive a salute of twenty-one guns. Speech- making will follow and in the evening there will be a ball in the executive building. Some of the more conservative people of Honolulu-believe that there will be little ceremony at the formal transfer of the islands. Admiral MBler is yged known in Hawaii and.he has always been an admirer of the Hawaiians. It is thought that he will, in deference to the feeling of the Hawaiian people, in- sist that the ceremony be as simple and as brief as possible.. The flag that was hauled down from the staff of tne executive building by Commissioner Blount will be the one that Admiral Miller will raise over the islands.

Every steam whistle in Honolulu broke into noisy acclaim and the Hawaifan battery hauled out its cannon and fired a sa- lute of one hundred guns on the grounds of the executive building in honor of the starry flag and to Initiate the new order of government in the islands. The steamer landing was crowded with wildly enthusiastic people, and in their midst was the Hawailan band mingling the Hawaiian and the Amer- gathered on the wharf to welcome the Coptie was President Dole. He had in- terpreted the signals flown from the rigging of the steamer from his resi- dence at Diamond Head as the vessel rounded the point, and he came galiop- ing down to the wharf on his horse. Along with him on the dock were United States Minister Sewall, United States Consul Haywood, Judge A. 8. Hartwell, Dr. John 8. McGrew, who for more than thirty years advocated and fought for the union of America and Hawaif, and who Is styled the father of annexation; J. B. Castle, W. R. Cas- tle, J. B. Atherton, Colonel J. H. Fisher, Colonel Soper, George W. Smith, the ficers of the National Guard of Ha- wall. After a short and informal re- ception to the passengers the band headed a procession to the executive building and there a number of the leaders of the annexation movement were called on for addresses. Dr. Mc- Grew was particularly the hero of the occasion and all he could say was that :1'! was the happlest moment of his e During the evening the streets were filled with sizzling and bursting fire- crackers, and some enthusiastic young men started a huge bonfire on the crest of the punch bowl. Naturally with the change of gov- ident Dole was spoken of quite freely as the man who was foremost in the race for the appointment. He has, however, many opponents, not only among annexationists, but the native Hawallans stand almost as a unit against his appointment. It was be- lleved, however, up to the time of the arrival of the Alameda that Dole had been selected by McKinley for the place and socleties were being quietly formed to bring organized opposition agamst‘ his appointment. Sewall and Hatch | were spoken of as being more popular | men and men more in touch with the | people. Sewall was chosen as the fa- vorite by several of the political ch{bs and particularly by the American Un- jon party, and the next steamer from the islands will carry many_strong recommendations to President McKin- ley from the residents of Hawail to name Sewall as the first Governor of America’s new territory. | Then the Alameda brought news of | the appointment of Dole as a member | of the commission, and in the minds of | many it was considered as understood in Washington that Sewall would re- | celve the appointment of Governor. On all sides none but warmest ex- | pressions of kindness and sympathyi are heard for Princess Kaiulani, who | would have succeeded Queen Liliuoka- lani to the throne. It was the fondest | hope of the native Hawaiians to have the gentle Princess as their ruler. She | was educated at the best colleges in | Europe, and given & deer insight into the mysteries of constitutional govern- ment to fit her for the position destiny seemed to will her to occupy. Few young people had better prospects | than the Princess and heir apparent to | the throne to rule one of the most hos- pitable and loving nations onthe earth, and she lost it all through no fault of her own. The Republican Government of Hawail felt the position in which the Princess had been placed by the overthrow of the monarchy and they granted her an allowance from the ublic fund to enable her to maintain er station in life. It was a small amount and many of the supporters of the Government felt that it was far too small. One of the hopes now en- tertained by the native Hawaiians is that the American Government will continue the allowance and possibly increase it. “I am sorry the American nation has taken these islands as a part of its territory,” said the Princess. “I had hoped it would never occur. I do mnot know what will become of the Ha- walian people. I fear it will mean their extinction and soclal degradation. Now that we are annexed we must make the best of it, and I only hope the American people will give these islands such government as will foster and advance the Hawallan race.” The business men of Honolulu began \to talk freely of a cable between the Hawailan Islands and the American coast when the first enthusiasm of the news of annexation brought by the Coptic substded. Such a cable has been projected many times, but the plans always came to naught for the want of sufficient government support, and the merchants were almost in de- spair of ever getting in closer commun- ication with the American coast than 06 06 106 K06 08 308 S0 K06 308 308 10K 06 30 30X 36K J0H0K 30 306 308 X0 0% 0% 108 308 308 30K 308 10t 108 $080k 108 10k 0% 308 308 10 0% 308 X8 30 06 306 308 X0k X annexationists and woe to the Hawai- ians, who love their deposed Queenand the gentle Princess whom they hoped at some time to hail as their ruler. The word cable was coupled with that of annexation by the business men, and many merchants freely mingled the two subjects in their conversation and cheered for the cable as well as the new flag, that in a few days will float over their lands, in their jubilation. Their mixed celebration was not without some foundation. About the time the Coptic arrived in the harbor the news spread among the business men that an agreement had been signed with the Hawailian Government that would assure the operation of tel- tion Bureau the ‘“Battle of July 8.” WASHINGTON, July 27.—The absence of a name for the remarkable naval battle between the American and Spanish fleets that resulted in the destruction of that of Cervera's, has been felt in the sy attempts made in official reports to the engagement.
